6. Marking
With regard to explosion safety the air conditioning unit has been assessed, modified,
certified and marked on the basis of the essential health and safety requirements of
European Directive 2014/34/EU (ATEX 114) relating to Group II Category 3 G. Compliance
with the Essential Health and Safety Requirements of the ATEX Directive is achieved
through application of the latest harmonized technical standards. The modification of the
equipment to explosion-safe does not affect the conformity to the European Directives as
declared by the original equipment manufacturer.
The specific marking of the air conditioning units depends on the applicable model of the air
conditioning system and will be created during the assessment and certification process of
the specific unit:
outdoor unit: II 3 G Ex ec h ic mc IIC T3 Gc
indoor unit: II 3 G Ex ec h ic IIC T4 Gc
remote control: II 3 G Ex ic IIC T6 Gc
This marking means that the AR-051 air conditioners have been designed for industrial
applications and comply with the requirements for Category 3 equipment used in potentially
hazardous areas due to the presence of gas, mist or vapor. This makes them suitable for use
in Zone 2.
The protection techniques used are Increased Safety (ec), Constructional Safety (h), Intrinsic
Safety (ic) and Molding (mc). Gas group IIC applies. The temperature class for the ignition of
